The future is here, people, thanks to Verizon Home Monitoring and Control, which lets you remotely turn lights on and off, adjust your thermostat, view your home, or lock and unlock doors with just the swipe of your smartphone screen.

With Home Monitoring and Control, you'll be able to see what's happening at your home when you're not there. Just put your home on "Vacation" mode and set up to receive text or email alerts if something happens. You can also set your pass code-activated door to "lock" (even deadbolt locks can be activated remotely), then sit back and monitor your front door, granting or denying access to any visitor that may show up—right from your seaside palapa.

Want to test it out? Play the online Prometheus mini-game that Verizon created with Twentieth Century Fox for the upcoming release of Prometheus, which hits theaters June 8. In it, you navigate through the levels using the Verizon Home Monitoring and Control features, viewing the ship via remote cameras, locating tablets and turning them on to reveal passcodes, fiddling with the lights in the Lab, and controlling the temperature of the Escape Hatch—just like you can control cameras, lights, and temps in your own home.
